The Jericho Brass
There was a time in America when a local
brass band was virtually the sole source of
entertainment in many communities. It is
estimated that in 1900, there were over
75,000 brass bands in the United States.
Bandsmen like John Philip Sousa, Carl King,
Herbert Clark, and Henry Filmore were widely
known and recognized, as they were the “rock stars” of their day. Brass bands were
sponsored by newspapers, distilleries, police
and fire departments, cotton mills, DAR groups,
and Temperance Unions. From the Sears and Roebuck
catalog,
The Jericho Brass pays homage
to this great tradition. It strives to
faithfully participate in and to help advance the current resurgence of
brass banding in the USA. |

years ago.

Confederacy. |

The 8th Regiment Band
Georgia Volunteer Infantry
of Rome, Georgia
"The 8th"is the modern counterpart of the Band of
the Eighth Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry,
whose men gallantly served their Homeland from 1st
Manassas in 1861 to Appomattox in 1865.
It was
perhaps the largest Georgia band as well as the first
to go to the Army of Northern Virginia. Original band
scores and authentically
styled arrangements from
period piano scores are combined
with original mid-
nineteenth century instruments and loving care to
produce the band’s programs. |
